In just four weeks’ time, Meteorological Technology World Expo 2024 will welcome more than 150 exhibitors and thousands of attendees from more than 100 countries in Vienna, Austria.
This year, Meteorological Technology World Expo will take place at the Messe Wien Exhibition & Congress Center in Vienna, Austria, on September 24, 25 & 26. Visitors will have the chance to discover the latest meteorological innovations, meet new suppliers and network extensively with industry experts.
As the leading global event for meteorological, hydromet, metocean and environmental monitoring technologies and services, Meteorological Technology World Expo draws buyers and users from national meteorological and hydrological services, environmental agencies, research institutes and weather-critical industries such as aviation, maritime, agriculture, transportation and renewable energy. 
Bringing together these top experts in one place for a full three days, the expo is the largest exhibition of its kind in the world and a must-attend for those looking to showcase their latest innovations, product launches and research.
Show floor highlights
Visitors will be able to see firsthand the latest developments in air quality monitoring systems, advance warning systems, automatic weather stations, lidars, lightning prediction systems, climate data modeling and extreme weather prediction and detection systems.
Technological highlights include: AI-enhanced weather forecasts for hazards affecting aviation; an ultra-high-resolution weather dashboard; an all-in-one weather station with wind speed measurement; x-band Doppler radars for advanced 3D weather monitoring; new digital pyranometers; and a new generation of CRNS probes that use cosmic rays for water measurement. See all the latest exhibitor news here.
Exhibitor highlights this year include cutting-edge solid-state weather radars from Meteopress. These radars are distinguished by their unparalleled data accuracy, low operational costs, and ease of deployment and maintenance. They have zero consumables and can run on solar power, underlining Meteopress’s commitment to sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
Cloud Seeding Technologies will feature its pneumatically driven hygroscopic cloud seeding flare at the expo. The Taru warm cloud seeding powder flare packs an enormous number of effective particles into a single flare to generate considerable precipitation enhancement power in warm climates. The injection of artificial condensation nuclei into clouds (cloud seeding) is a practice that has been proven over nearly half a century to increase precipitation significantly. This has given plenty of time to measure the effectiveness of cloud seeding and the effectiveness of different particles in various atmospheric situations.
Additionally, the revolutionary F7 datalogger for wildfire risk management, research, on-site weather monitoring and disaster responses from FTS (an AEM brand) will be on show. The AEM F7 datalogger provides critical data that empowers fire management teams to make informed, life-saving decisions. Building on the legacy of the F6 datalogger, the F7 offers precision and reliability in data collection, even in the most extreme conditions. This state-of-the-art technology is designed to minimize maintenance, reduce the total cost of ownership and enhance the productivity of site visits through hassle-free deployments and reduced troubleshooting time.
Navimet will also present its new RAY64 digital pyranometer designed to measure global radiation and/or the duration of insolation with resolutions of six seconds and six minutes respectively. It can be used to replace old Campbell-Stokes-type heliographs. RAY64 consists of a datalogger box connected to a pyranometer. The box is compatible with all pyranometers with a sensitivity of at least 50µV(W/m2). The spectral rate, latitude and longitude must be entered so that the RAY64 can evaluate according to the ONM criteria whether the sunlight conditions are met after a cycle of 20 global radiation measurements (six minutes).
Alongside these innovations, a tool for hyperlocal weather simulations from meteoblue will also be showcased at the expo. This solution is designed to optimize heat wave management for cities. meteoblue’s Learning MultiModel (mLM) processing chain fuses proprietary and third-party weather models with observations and measurements, applying state-of-the-art AI technology to achieve the highest possible accuracy for any location on Earth. Using satellite images and 3D models, inner-city temperature is simulated accurately at 10m and hyperlocal wind at 2m resolution, thanks to recent enhancements of the meteoblue City Climate offer.
WMO TECO-2024
Meteorological Technology World Expo will also host the WMO Technical Conference on Meteorological and Environmental Instruments and Methods of Observation (TECO-2024) – one of the most important events in the meteorological industry calendar. The event’s theme will be ‘Measurements and new technologies for WMO priority initiatives’. 
This unique event will bring together measurement experts from several communities and the private sector to share knowledge and delve into the most pressing topics in the industry, all while networking with thousands of fellow professionals. A total of 56 oral presentations and 175 poster presentations will be presented by experts representing NMHSs, other public agencies and research institutions, as well as manufacturers of measurement equipment.
The six conference sessions are: new measurement technologies and innovative integrated approaches; environmental sustainability of observing systems; characterization and testing of instruments and methods; traceability of measurements to recognized standards; quality assurance and maintenance of the observing systems; and capacity development for sustainable and quality measurements.
Additionally, panelists from different communities will discuss measurement-related issues, with active audience engagement. These three sessions will cover: trends and innovation in measurement technologies; evolving measurement requirements for WMO priorities (EW4All, G3W, GBON, RBON and WIGOS Vision); and capacity development and challenges in maintaining measurement networks.
